Thanks for the help on that. A NewEgg search for 1156 socket compatible heatsinks only listed one by Thermalake.

Are you talking about that round one? It is kind of expensive and got just "so so" reviews, but it should do the job. I think NewEgg has that Tlk cooler with an i5 in a combo so you can save 10 to 15 dollars.Good luck!You might want to check to make sure that (or any other cooler) will fit your new motherboard ok so that it won't hide a pci or memory slot.RH

I think there are plenty more coolers but you need a socket 1156 mount kit. I don't have an i5, but I liked the Thermalright Ultra in the past. See this:http://www.frozencpu.com/products/5664/cpu...eon.html?tl=g48scott s..

I think I'll start with the stock cooler and wait for the manufacturers to catch up on the new i5.
